VPN connection

As explained in Google Anthos in Action

A VPN connection is a configured encrypted logical connection between a GDCE environment and a Google Cloud project.

A VPN connection is a configured encrypted logical connection between a Google Distributed Cloud Edge environment and a Google Cloud project. It lets workloads at the edge reach applications in the customer’s VPC and other Google Cloud services. section 8.3.1

The connection supports these deployment responsibilities:

  • Connects GDCE-hosted workloads with customer VPC applications and Google Cloud services. section 8.3.1
  • Extends cloud-based application access to public-cloud, telco, and enterprise edge locations. section 8.3.1
